Just been reading a thread about "Does Appearance Matter?" and wondered what Gransnetters are wearing in lock-down? (This is meant as a lighthearted thread........hopefully it stays that way!!)

Pr of pants I am in bed.

BoadiceaJones Sun 14-Jun-20 04:48:47

Shirts. Tee shirt. Wellies (gumboots). Hat. Gloves. I'm in the garden. It might be winter here, but it's very warm. We live in the wilds, where no-one puts on the dog.

BoadiceaJones Sun 14-Jun-20 04:53:03

SHORTS!!

BibiSarah Sun 14-Jun-20 05:34:10

Panache matching bra and panties.

Robell trousers, they're a nice aubergine colour.

Blouse from Mint Velvet that's a pale silvery grey background with an abstract print of darker grey, lilac and dark pinkish splodges all over it.

Grey suede wedge heeled shoes by Hogl that have a very nice deep v shaped front.

When I go out later I'll wear a waterfall cardigan as well due to the air conditioning where I live.

After losing many stone in weight Im really enjoying myself clothes wise.

Does anybody else dislike the word panties? (Apologies to BibiSarah nothing personal )
It’s just so “suggestive” - what’s wrong with knickers ?

Pinny lol doing friends housework

Pj's. Once i have showered i will wear navy and white cropped cotton trousers with a white or pink top. Have been busy finishing off a cake as my son and his family [3 in total] will be here a bit later today. It will be so lovely to see them all, Last time was back in March. They arranged to call last Saturday but due to awful weather cancelled, soooo thankful today is much better. Chairs already spaced out inthe garden smile

Nothing wrong with knickers MawB. I love the word ?

Davida1968 Sun 14-Jun-20 09:53:20

I love the word "knickers"! (But DH objects when I use this word for his underpants....)

Rosiebee Sun 14-Jun-20 10:05:35

Blue jeans, ancient but clean and pressed, grey tee shirt. It has an impression of a
zebra's head on front with lots of missing silver studs. Soft and faded -a bit like me. Socks as it's a bit chilly, and slippers, trainers if we go out for walk. I hate slippers in the summer but never seem to find a suitable "house shoe". Any suggestions?

Maggiemaybe Sun 14-Jun-20 10:45:51

I’m still in my night attire (bra and pants, white, M & S), having just partaken of a delicious bacon, egg and mushroom sandwich in bed. It’s a hard life.

Off for a garden visit with DS and his lot soon, so it’ll be purple cord leggings and a black/purple/blue striped tunic, both M & S.

Maggiemaybe Sun 14-Jun-20 10:56:41

I just go barefoot in the house, Rosiebee, putting socks on if it’s chilly. I’ve never worn slippers, unlike DH, who never goes barefoot, even on a beach. smile

Marmight Sun 14-Jun-20 11:00:42

Same as when I last reported! All been through the wash since then grin

Nothing as long as they don't stain easily after a romp in the grass.

Yes, Maw I don’t know why, but it summons up images of passive femininity somehow. Whereas knickers conveys a strong woman image ??
As well as my knickers and bra (Triumph)
I’m wearing my dark green velvet jeans (Hobbs) a cream-striped grandad-style shirt (Toast) and an oversized neutral cardigan (Topshop).
I’m making a concerted effort to wear all my nice things at home.
As someone said in Up the Junction
‘It’s no use waiting till yer an old bag!’ grin

Marmight Sun 14-Jun-20 15:55:28

grin JaneA. I cant even say the word p*****es or p****hose. Something between twee & unsavoury & shuddery. I prefer knickers if I have to call them anything. In Oz they are called undies whether M or F. That seems to fit the bill/bottom. ?

Marmight Sun 14-Jun-20 15:56:57

Thats to Maw as well

lemongrove Sun 14-Jun-20 16:07:15

My knickers are my affair, ditto the bra,? but am wearing a pale blue Summer dress today, and walking around barefoot in the house, it’s very warm.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 14-Jun-20 16:21:24

Pale blue capris and floral matching top.

Riverwalk Sun 14-Jun-20 16:37:51

A powder blue linen dress - again from a French street market and cost about 20 Euros.

janeainsworth Sun 14-Jun-20 16:39:02

Marmight grin
Knickers, like squabbles, or trousers, is one of those English words that send the American DGC into gales of laughter. When they have recovered, they will then repeat the offending word in an exaggerated British accent ad nauseam.

They refer to their kecks as 'underpants' and their trousers as 'pants'.
One does have to be careful to use the correct terminology grin

felice Sun 14-Jun-20 17:44:28

Black Capri pants, a navy blue lined lace top, a bit of face and some smelly stuff.
Just got home from a nice afternoon on a terrace bar near my home.
Met 3 friends and had 2 glasses of white wine.

MiniMoon Sun 14-Jun-20 17:59:47

Dark blue jeans, may sweatshirt with pink and grey striped, flowery sketchers shoes, pink and blue striped socks.
Took watermelon and home baked biscuits to DD. We sat in her garden.
I was overdressed, the sun finally decided to shine and I got hot.
My east facing house is cool, so I haven't changed my clothes, although I thought about it.

MiniMoon Sun 14-Jun-20 18:00:37

Navy sweatshirt

PinkCakes Sun 14-Jun-20 19:43:53

I'm wearing a blue patterned, sleeveless maxi dress, navy flip=flops, and of course, underwear grin
